Are the rivers and lakes far away?

Not far.

It's around.

Is Jianghu very close?

Not close.

You can't see its shore at a glance.

Li Chenan originally had great expectations for Jianghu.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that this expectation was like going to the ends of the earth in his previous life...the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Isn't it good to stay in a warm room?

Even if you are traveling, wouldn't it be more comfortable to sit in an airtight carriage with a charcoal fire burning, soft cushions, warm blankets, and a pleasant girl beside you?

But now?

The wind is as strong as a knife.

The sky was filled with wind and snow.

It seemed to be pouring out endless anger, slashing the vast earth crazily.

It seemed as if everything in the world was going to be chopped into pieces, destroyed, and then buried in this crazy snow.

Don't say that this is the New Year's Day. Even on weekdays, in such bad weather, there are few pedestrians on the official road.

But today, on this official road from Guangling City to Pingjiang City, in the midst of the violent snowstorm, five riders came facing the wind and snow.

Of course they are Li Chenan and his party.

Five horses, five strong, snow-white horses!

Five people, five men from the world dressed in black and wearing windbreaker hats with half of their faces covered!

But there was one horse with no one on it.

There happened to be two people riding on a horse!

Xiao Baozi has never ridden a horse, but she has ridden a donkey.

It only took her half a day's journey to learn how to ride a horse.

Li Chenan has never ridden a horse.

He also spent half a day on foot...and then gave up riding alone.

He and Xiao Baozi rode together.

He is right behind Xiao Baozi.

He hugged Xiao Baozi's waist tightly and hid his face behind Xiao Baozi——

The wind is strong.

Heavy snow.

With Xiao Baozi blocking him in front, he felt it was more comfortable.

It's just that the horse ran very fast, which made his butt hurt.

He suddenly trembled and sneezed again.

He never thought that someone was cursing him and cutting him to pieces in his heart.

He just felt that even this was very cold.

The world is so bad!

The arena is not that easy to mess around with.

But this is just the beginning.

So, his hands hugged Xiao Baozi's waist tighter.

This made Xiao Baozi's heart tremble slightly.

She is very sensitive.

Fortunately it's winter and I have plenty of clothes to wear.

But even so, she couldn't bear it.

She is not cold.

She has a fever!

"Hello……!"

Xiao Baozi turned around and roared, and Li Chenan raised his head in excitement.

"Are you comfortable?"

"……good!"

"Don't hug me too tightly!"

Xiao Baozi's voice was very low for these four words. The horse was running fast and the wind and snow were heavy, so Li Chenan didn't hear them clearly.

"What did you say?"

He asked in a loud voice.

Xiao Baozi couldn't yell back like this, could he?

"Are you going to give up and go back?"

"……No!"

Xiao Baozi pursed his lips and smiled, this stubborn cow!

Good.

Because I am stubborn, I will not give up easily.

A group of people galloped on horseback in the wind and snow. At about noon, they arrived at a small town.

The town is small.

The name of the town is Huangping Town.

Two rows of low and dilapidated houses are on both sides of the official road. They are not long, only about thirty feet.

They slowed down the streets of the town.

Let the horse move forward slowly.

After a while, they stopped in front of a slightly better inn.

Amu turned back to Li Chenan, who nodded.

The five people dismounted, Li Chenan raised his eyes and saw the broken flagpole fluttering in the wind and snow.

The four characters "Yelai Inn" are faintly visible on Xunxun's flag.

Li Chenan grinned.

It seems like there are Yuelai Inns everywhere.

He walked into the inn, where there was only a waiter-like person taking a nap around the stove.

They sat at a table, and Li Chenan shouted, "Waiter, serve the wine!"

The waiter who was taking a nap was startled, as if he had been awakened from a sweet dream, and his face was full of displeasure.

He glanced at Li Chenan and the others, but was not frightened by the fact that these people were dressed in black and masked. There were so many people in the arena, that was all.

Each of them looks cool, but in fact they don’t have two coins in their pockets.

Far inferior to being a merchant.

He stood up reluctantly.

He walked to the table, took off a dark cloth towel from his shoulder, wiped the table casually and pretended to be clean, and said: "There is only Hua Ping Chun, which is very expensive, ten taels of silver a pound, do you want to drink it?"

Li Chenan was startled and his eyes widened immediately.

When did your Huapingchun sell to such a shabby place?

He was very curious, so he took out a piece of silver from his arms and slapped it on the table.

"One pound first!"

When the waiter saw the shining silver, he weighed it in his heart, at least ten taels!

It’s the New Year, these people are walking in a hurry, and the white horse outside is fat and strong... Rich Lord!

A smile suddenly appeared on his face. He leaned over to take out the ingot of silver and asked very casually: "What kind of food will your guest order to go with the wine?"

Li Chenan waved his hand again: "Bring some of your specialty dishes, hurry up, we have to hurry after eating them!"
